In a 96-well round-bottomed plate (Corning Costar Corporation) were placed 60 μL of a suspension of Hut78 cells (ATCC No. TIB-161) (3×10⁵ cells) in the binding/wash buffer, 20 μL of a solution of a test compound and 20 μL of a solution of 810 Bq of [¹²⁵I]-TARC (Amersham Biosciences K.K.) diluted with the binding/wash buffer up to the total aliquot of 100 μL, followed by reaction at room temperature for two hours. The solution of the test compound had been prepared by dissolving the test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) to a concentration of 10 mmol/L, and diluting the solution with the binding/wash buffer to a series of concentrations. The nonspecific binding was determined by a binding assay in the presence of a sufficient amount of unlabeled TARC. The total binding was defined as a binding in the case where dimethyl sulfoxide (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) was added, instead of the test compound, in the same concentration (0.1 v/v %). After binding [¹²⁵I]-TARC to Hut78 cells, 50 μL of a polyethyleneimine solution (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) diluted to 0.3 w/v % with the binding/wash buffer was added each of wells of a glass filter (Unifilter GF/B96, Packard BioScience Company), was rapidly filtrated using Filtermate 196 (Packard BioScience Company) and washed with the binding/wash buffer at 4° C. to thereby separate the radioactive ligand which is not bound to the cells. Microscinti 20 (Packard BioScience Company) was placed in each well at 50 μL/well, and the radioactivity on the glass filter was determined using Topcount NXT™ (Packard BioScience Company). The binding inhibitory rates of the test compounds at 1 μmol/L are shown in Table 7. The binding inhibitory rates (%) of the test compounds were determined by calculation according to the following equation: ${{Binding}\quad{inhibitory}\quad{rate}\quad(\%)} = {\frac{\left( {{Total}\quad{binding}} \right) - \left( {{Binding}\quad{upon}\quad{addition}\quad{of}\quad{test}\quad{compound}} \right)}{\left( {{Total}\quad{binding}} \right) - \left( {{Nonspecific}\quad{binding}} \right)} \times 100}$ Total binding: [¹²⁵I]-TARC binding radioactivity without addition of the test compound Binding upon addition of test compound: [¹²⁵I]-TARC binding radioactivity at respective concentration upon addition of test compound

Nonspecific binding: [¹²⁵I]-TARC binding radioactivity upon addition of unlabeled TARC TABLE 7 Compound The Binding Inhibitory Rates Number at 1 μmol/L (%) 1 91 3 93 8 92 15 90 40 89 58 81 61 82 72 96 73 99 75 97

Chemotaxing cells by TARC or MDC are known to have high IL-4 productivity and low IFN-γ productivity [International Immunology, vol. 11, p. 81 (1999)]. More specifically, Th2 T cells are considered to play an important role on allergic reactions, and CCR4 as well as TARC and MDC as ligands thereof are considered to be significantly involved in allergic pathoses [Molecular Immunology, vol. 38, p. 881 (2002); and Allergy, vol. 57, p. 180 (2002)].

It has been reported, for example, that increase of CCR4-positive T cells in the peripheral blood [American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, vol. 164, p. 754 (2001)], increase of TARC in the peripheral blood and sputum [Allergy, vol. 57, p. 173 (2002)], and invasion of CCR4-positive T cells in the lung tissues by antigenic stimulation [Journal of Clinical Investigation, vol. 107, p. 1357 (2001)] are shown in a patient of asthma. Asthmatic pathosis is strongly prevented in mice administered with an antibody against TARC [Journal of Immunology, vol. 166, p. 2055 (2001)], and an anti-MDC antibody shows inhibitory activities on asthmatic pathosis in a murine asthma model [Journal of Immunology, vol. 163, p. 403 (1999)].

Eosinophilic pneumonia patients show increase in TARC in the peripheral blood and the bronchoalveolar lavage [American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, vol. 165, p. 1125 (2002)].

Rhinitis patients are known to show increase in TARC level in the peripheral blood [Allergy, vol. 57, p. 180 (2002)], and a CCR4 ligand TARC is known to be produced from the human nasal mucosa [Clinical and Experimental Allergy, vol. 31, p. 1923 (2001)].

It has been reported that the production of TARC is increased by stimulating the corneal fibroblasts with a Th2 cytokine such as IL-4 or TNF-α, indicating that CCR4-positive cells may participate in allergic conjunctivitis [Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, vol. 279, p. 1 (2000)]. It has been reported in psoriasis that CCR4-positive cells increasingly invade around the cutaneous blood vessel in lesions [Laboratory Investigation, vol. 81, p. 335 (2001)]. It has also been reported that CCR4-positive cells invade the synovial membrane tissue in rheumatoid arthritis [Arthritis and Rheumatism, vol. 44, p. 2750 (2001)], and that CCR4-positive cells increase in the peripheral blood of systemic lupus erythematosus patients in stages with high disease activity [Journal of Leukocyte Biology, vol. 70, p. 749 (2001)].

CCR4 is expressed in the nerve cells, particularly in substance P neurons in the dorsal root ganglion, and the stimulation of the nerve cells by MDC increases an intracellular calcium level to thereby release substance P serving as a pain producing substance [Journal of Neuroscience, vol. 21, p. 5027 (2001)]. CCR4 knockout mice become resistant against sepsis [Journal of Experimental Medicine, vol. 191, p. 1755 (2000)]. Further, cells in which CCR4 is expressed were known in leukemia [Blood, vol. 96, p. 685 (2000)], and CCR4 is significantly expressed in leukemia cells particuraly in adult T cell leukemia (ATL) [Blood, vol. 99, p. 1505 (2002)].

Atopic dermatitis patients have been reported to show an increasing TARC level in the peripheral blood according with an disease severity [Journal of Allergy Clinical Immunology, vol. 107, p. 535 (2001)] and an increasing MDC level in the peripheral blood with an increasing severity [Clinical and Experimental Immunology, vol. 127, p. 270 (2002)]. Further, atopic dermatitis patients have been reported to show an increased proportion of CCR4-positive cells in CD4-positive T cells in the peripheral blood [Journal of Investigative Dermatology, vol. 117, p. 188 (2001)].

It has been reported that an anti-mouse MDC antibody inhibits the onset of diabetes mellitus in a murine insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus model (NOD mice) [Journal of Clinical Investigation, vol. 110, p. 1675 (2002)].

In patients infected by Candida albicans in the intraoral skin, it has been reported that CCR4-positive T cells and MDC producing dendritic cells increase in the epidermis and dermis in regions of inflammation caused by infection [American Journal of Pathology, vol. 158, p. 1263 (2000)].

TARC has been reported to participate in pathoses in mycosis fungoides [Journal of American Academy of Dermatology, vol. 48, p. 23 (2003)].

TEST EXAMPLE 2 Inhibitory Activities on Antigen-Induced Cellular Infiltration and Cytokine Production

BALB/c mice were sensitized by intraperitoneally administrating 50 μg of ovalbumin (Sigma-Aldrich Japan) and 1 mg of aluminum hydroxide (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and further sensitized in the same manner on the 7th day from the first sensitization (0 day). From on the 23rd day, the mice were allowed to inhale a 1% ovalbumin physiological saline solution [prepared by dissolving ovalbumin in physiological saline (Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) to a concentration 1%] using Supersonic Nebulizer NE-U 12 (OMRON Corporation) for 30 minutes once per 2 days (antigen nebulization). DMSO (Kanto Kagaku), Tween 80 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries), and 10 mmol/L acetic acid buffer containing 0.9% sodium chloride were mixed at a ratio of 5 to 5 to 90, whereby a liquid (an administration solvent) was prepared. Each test compound was dissolved in the administration solvent, whereby a solution for subcutaneous administration was prepared. The mice were grouped into test compound-administered groups and a control group. The test compound was subcutaneously administered to the mice of each of the test compound-administered groups at a dose of 30 mg/kg and the administration solvent was subcutaneously administered to the mice of the control group 30 minutes prior to the fourth antigen nebulization and after 4 hours from the fourth antigen nebulization. 8 hours after the fourth antigen nebulization, the bronchoalveolar lavage of each mouse was performed to obtain a bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The number of CD4-positive T cells and eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were counted. 10 mice were subjected to the each group in the test.

For the control group, the number of CD4-positive T cells in a bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from each mouse was (1.9±0.2)×10⁴ (mean±standard error). For a Compound 8-administered group, the number was (0.6±0.1)×10⁴ (mean±standard error). The number of CD4-positive T cells of the Compound 8-administered group is 68% less than that of the control group (P<0.0001, Aspin-Welch test).

For the control group, the number of eosinophils in a bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from each mouse was (1.5±0.1)×10⁵ (mean±standard error).
